OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Is this the only group for the New Orleans? My son-in-law is on this but I believe there should be more activity since they just deployed.

It can be a fun place to live, the only downfall I see is the traffic and the cost of everything. Other than that it can be great place for a newly married couple to live.
